Yala Peak is an enchanting mountain situated in the Langtang region of Nepal. With an elevation of 5,520 meters (18,109 feet), it offers a thrilling climbing experience for both novice and experienced climbers. Yala Peak climbing combines stunning mountain views, pristine landscapes, and cultural encounters, making it a popular choice among adventure enthusiasts.

The journey to Yala Peak begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi, a vibrant village in the Langtang region. From Syabrubesi, climbers start their trek, following the Langtang River and passing through dense forests, charming villages, and terraced fields. The trail gradually ascends, allowing for proper acclimatization and breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks.

As climbers make their way through the Langtang Valley, they pass through picturesque settlements such as Lama Hotel and Langtang Village, where they can experience the warm hospitality of the local Tamang community. The rich cultural heritage of the region becomes evident with the presence of ancient monasteries, prayer flags, and stone-carved Mani walls.

The trek continues towards Kyanjin Gompa (3,870 meters/12,697 feet), a renowned Buddhist monastery and the base for Yala Peak climbing. Kyanjin Gompa serves as a comfortable resting place to acclimatize further and prepare for the summit push. Climbers can explore the monastery, interact with the friendly locals, and soak in the peaceful atmosphere surrounded by snow-capped peaks.

The ascent to the summit of Yala Peak is a thrilling and rewarding experience. Climbers follow a well-defined trail that leads them through rocky moraines, snow slopes, and potentially icy sections. As climbers gain elevation, they may need to utilize mountaineering equipment such as crampons, ice axes, and ropes for safety and progress.

Upon reaching the summit of Yala Peak, climbers are greeted with breathtaking views of the Langtang Valley, surrounding peaks, and even glimpses of the Tibetan plateau. The sense of achievement and the awe-inspiring panorama make the summit experience truly unforgettable.

After spending time at the summit, climbers descend back to Kyanjin Gompa and continue their trek back to Syabrubesi, retracing their steps through the beautiful Langtang Valley. The return journey allows climbers to reflect on their accomplishments, interact with the locals, and immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the region.

Best time for Yala Peak Climbing ;
Yala Peak climbing is typically undertaken during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons when the weather conditions are most favorable. Prior trekking experience and a good level of physical fitness are recommended to undertake this challenging adventure.

Trek from Lama Hotel to Langtang village via Ghora Tabela which takes about five to six hours. As we continue climbing there are occasional glimpses of Langtang Lirung between the trees. At Ghora Tabela [3000m], the trail emerges from the forest. While walking here, we can catch a glimpse of white monkeys and local birds.


Once there was a Tibetan resettlement project here, but now it is a Nepalese army post though it has no permanent inhabitants. The trail continues to climb gently and the valley widens, passing a few temporary settlements used by herders who bring their livestock to graze in the high pastures during the summer months. There is a monastery which we can visit shortly before arriving at the village of Langtang, the headquarters of the Langtang National Park. The houses of Langtang and its neighboring villages are of the flat-roofed Tibetan style, surrounded by stone walls enclosing fields of buckwheat, potatoes, wheat, turnips and barley. Stay overnight at tea house.
